I consired virginity and nuptial night experiences as sensitive topics where I 
was searching for evasive strategies during face to face interaction through 
recorded data(16 hours).

Subject: [GALA-L] Language and Virginity

Hello Everyone

I'm writing a chapter of my thesis and I need some advice on literature. In the 
chapter, I'm undertaking discourse analysis of some audio-recorded data of 
secondary school students in a sexuality lesson talking about virginity. I plan 
to analyse the ways in which the students treat 'virgin' as a sexual subject 
position and rework it as a category.

I haven't been able to find any literature related to language use and the 
concept of virginity. It seems surprising that there would be nothing out there 
on this topic, but I've searched high and low and come up with nothing. 

Is anyone aware of an article or chapter somewhere that explores this 
construct from a language/discourse perspective?

Thank you for your time.
